Resumen
Black Ops II es el primer juego de la franquicia Call of Duty que cuenta con tecnología de guerra del futuro y el primero que presenta historias ramificadas impulsadas por la elección del jugador, así como la selección de armas antes de comenzar las misiones del modo historia.
Historia
En la Nevada de la época de la Guerra Fría, un equipo de agentes del CDC investiga un lugar de pruebas nucleares conocido como "Nuketown", donde son atacados por zombis. El Dr. Edward Richtofen es escuchado a través de un televisor, llevando a cabo su plan en la Luna. Richtofen se hace con el control de los zombis entrando en el Éter, pero el Dr. Ludvig Maxis trabaja con su hija Samantha y los antiguos aliados de Richtofen, Tank Dempsey, Nikolai Belinski y Takeo Masakai para frustrarlo. Para ello, Maxis lanza tres misiles nucleares masivos llenos de Elemento 115, el elemento responsable de la reanimación de las células muertas, contra la Tierra, destruyéndola. Uno de los misiles destruye completamente Nuketown y a todos los presentes.
Años más tarde, la Tierra ha quedado reducida a un páramo infernal que se desmorona, invadido por zombis. En este nuevo mundo, cuatro supervivientes -Samuel J. Stuhlinger, Abigail "Misty" Briarton, Marlton Johnson y Russman- se han unido para sobrevivir en Washington con la ayuda de un autobús conducido por un conductor robótico. Los cuatro son contactados por Maxis, ahora una I.A. digitalizada, que busca la ayuda de la humanidad contra Richtofen. Maxis les implora que enciendan una torre en un campo de maíz utilizando un zombi basado en la electricidad. Sin embargo, Richtofen se pone en contacto con Samuel, que es capaz de escuchar voces del éter, y le ordena que convenza a sus amigos para que enciendan la torre a su favor. El jugador puede elegir entre seguir las órdenes de Maxis o de Richtofen. En las transmisiones de audio se revela que los supervivientes de todo el mundo han sido contactados tanto por Maxis como por Richtofen, aunque existe un conflicto generalizado entre los seguidores de ambos alemanes; especialmente en un asentamiento conocido como Jackass Flats, que inicialmente era un refugio seguro, sólo para caer en manos de los zombis cuando el conflicto Maxis-Richtofen lo consumió.
Independientemente de a quién elijan ayudar, los cuatro son teletransportados a un horizonte en ruinas en Shanghai, China. Aquí, Richtofen ordena a Samuel que "repare la grieta" y acepte su destino como seguidor de Richtofen, amenazando con exponer su pasado como miembro de un culto caníbal conocido como La Carne, que come carne de zombi para sobrevivir. Richtofen revive continuamente al grupo cada vez que caen ante los zombis hasta que siguen sus órdenes. Maxis, que ya no está impedido por los dispositivos eléctricos, vuelve a ponerse en contacto con el grupo para pedir ayuda. Los cuatro se enteran a través de los televisores repartidos por la zona de la Carne, así como del comienzo de una nueva plaga aérea del Elemento 115, el elemento que reanima las células muertas y provoca los zombis.
Tras sus batallas en Shangai, Russman conduce al grupo a través de los continentes hasta un gran agujero en el suelo conocido como "la Grieta" en África, con la esperanza de encontrar respuestas sobre las fuerzas invisibles que los comandan. Maxis y Richtofen vuelven a ponerse en contacto con ellos, más desesperados que nunca por conseguir sus objetivos. Ambos piden al grupo que potencie la tercera y última torre a su favor. Maxis promete sanar la Tierra, y Richtofen promete salvarlos de Maxis. Los cuatro consiguen un nuevo aliado en forma de un gigante mudo y sin nombre en una ciudad del oeste construida bajo tierra, y se ven obstaculizados por una mujer fantasmal en una enorme mansión. Dependiendo de a quién haya ayudado el jugador en la historia, hay dos finales posibles. Si el jugador ha ayudado a Richtofen, éste obtendrá un poder ilimitado sobre el Éter y la Tierra, matará a Maxis y condenará el alma de Samantha Maxis a la condenación eterna. A continuación, entrará en el cuerpo de Samuel como recompensa por su ayuda, pero se encontrará con que no puede salir de él, y estará a merced de los zombis como antes. Si el jugador ha ayudado a Maxis, éste utiliza el poder de las torres para entrar en el Aether y asumir el control definitivo, atrapando a Richtofen en el cuerpo de un zombi. Sin embargo, la Tierra comienza a temblar y Maxis explica a los cuatro que está iniciando el proceso de destrucción de la Tierra y de la humanidad para llegar a Agartha, donde cree que está Samantha.
Sin que todos lo sepan, Samantha está efectivamente en Agartha (a la que finalmente su padre no consigue entrar), pero llega a su padre en la Francia de 1918, durante la Primera Guerra Mundial. Maxis es un líder del Grupo 935, que opera para asegurar la victoria de Alemania en la guerra. Para ello, han creado altísimos robots mecánicos, armaduras y bastones que controlan los poderes de los elementos. El Grupo 935 también tropieza con una antigua tumba que se cree que es de origen Vrill, pero esto desata el primer brote de zombis conocido en la historia. Con el objetivo de detener a Alemania, Japón, Rusia y los Estados Unidos de América envían a Takeo, Nikolai y Dempsey a capturar a Richtofen, el cerebro detrás de la avanzada tecnología. Para entonces, los operativos del Grupo 935 han sido aniquilados, y el propio Maxis fue lobotomizado cuando empezó a convertirse en un zombi. El grupo deja de lado sus nacionalidades para luchar contra los muertos vivientes, y es contactado por Samantha, rogando ser liberada de Agartha. Richtofen pone el cerebro de Maxis en un dron volador, y se une a la lucha contra los zombis y para liberar a Samantha. El grupo finalmente tiene éxito, y mientras Maxis se reúne con su hija, entran en Agartha para ser recompensados. Se reproduce una escena de Samantha con un niño llamado Eddie, jugando con los juguetes de los personajes que han aparecido en el modo de juego Zombies a lo largo de los tres juegos. Se oyen sirenas de ataque aéreo y los dos niños se retiran al sótano con Maxis, y Samantha señala que su padre tiene un plan para hacer realidad sus juegos. Es ambiguo si los acontecimientos del modo de juego han ocurrido realmente o han estado todo el tiempo simplemente en la imaginación de Samantha.

Call of Duty: Black Ops II Opiniones y valoraciones
Just an absolutely horrible game I cannot find a single thing to appraise MW3 better, MW2 better, BO1 better battlefield series way better.Just an absolutely horrible game I cannot find a single thing to appraise MW3 better, MW2 better, BO1 better battlefield series way better. I have played three previous versions something like 3-400 hours and found them enjoyable but the controls in this is just plain frustrating, no one is playing I would probably declare this the death of the franchise unless they step up in the next release
Hated MW2. Hated MW3. I was able to try this one for a short time. Couldn't wait to get angry and start raging on how bad this series is, andHated MW2. Hated MW3. I was able to try this one for a short time. Couldn't wait to get angry and start raging on how bad this series is, and so off I played. After playing for 2 days of experiencing and trying basically enough, I have to say this...it has improved. It hurts me to say, but it has few improvements over the previous games. First of, I liked how the perks are extremely few and unlike the previous, which many were useless and only few were good, now we get few perks and almost none are that useful and actually work as "perks". Instead, some of the "old" perks are now some sort of "attachments" to weapons which are unlocked by using them more often, and in here we also get the levels for weapons, which is a nice addition. They tried hard to balance the game, even by limiting our perks, weapons, attachments and everything with a limit of 10...which balances things....I guess? Weapons are still rather similar but they TRIED to make them different this time and I noticed few differences while using some of them...like one would give less recoil...another would do more...but the same damage...? Arenas have improved as well: we get colors! Few, but it's so great to find more than 2 colors in an arena, without mentioning that I haven't played that many matches with campers (there were, but nothing impossible to counter). And jokes aside, they tried to make most of the arenas trying to be careful on blind corners...which unfortunely still are present, showing either that it's programming fault or their own choice. People will either think I'm joking or being serious but to be honest, the answer is just one: this game is still horrible, and that's no joke. While it has improvements over the others, it's still not worth a single cent on this game: weapons are still too similar and have the biggest fault of having no need to aim at all: just shoot and you'll kill (you might need to aim only on long distances); arenas, while cured a little more, show how graphics are HORRIBLE and simply unacceptable and while I accepted the graphics of the previous games, this one is totally unworthy of attention. And campers are still around in some arenas, so it's not fixed yet; balancing of the classes is still far from being even remotely good, letting us customize with just tons of useless perks (even if fewer than previous games) and overpowered killstreaks, which works with points instead of kills, but still can be a gamebreaker pretty easily and without letting you escape. This game is just mediocre, like the previous games, and while it may be a good purchase this time, the game is still expensive like day 1 and, in all honesty, you can spend those euros/dollars for much better games (and cheaper as well). If you ever find this game on discount (not gonna happen) you might give it a try and maybe even having fun until the next installment arrives (after that, this game literally dies). But seriously, if you want to play an arena based fps, with lots of weapons, with very low graphics, no real physics and simply fast pacing gaming....play either Quake 3 arena or Unreal tournament.
The campaign story is one of the best COD has recently offered. The one glaring (and frankly, unforgivable) flaw is with the Strike ForceThe campaign story is one of the best COD has recently offered. The one glaring (and frankly, unforgivable) flaw is with the Strike Force missions. If you are not planning on playing on the harder difficulties, they really are not that big of an issue, albeit poorly executed with respect to controls and friendly AI. On the harder settings, these become a gigantic nuisance due to the terrible friendly AI. The multiplayer is also good, and I think I enjoy it more than the BO1. Overall, above average game that could have been great.
If the original Black Ops was Treyarch's coming-out party, then Black Ops 2 is the studio's affirmation that their COD expertise was no flash in the pan. If you're one of the 16 people who hasn't played this gem yet, go buy it now. Conversely, if you're among those who bought the game but hasn't ventured into the single-player campaign (yes, it happens), there's a great narrative and divergent gameplay awaiting your experimentation, so check it out.
Another year and all is the same with the Call of Duty franchise and I eventually gave up and rented it. 9 games now how the infamous "Call of Duty" title and this one is by far the worst. Campaign wise, the story is a very poor follow on from the half decent Black Ops. With the "past and future" story completely dominating the game which makes the flow of the game just fall apart. The level layout, objectives and story progress are literally the same as of the previous 5 games. Maybe next year we will get a bit of variety? The only real change to this game is the stolen aspects from other games that treyarch have tried to bind with this game, but failing to make it work. The futuristic aspect of this game is clearly taken from that of the crisis series and abilities are just a rip off of the ever more popular halo series. It is nice that treyarch are trying but their QA team needs to step in and stop such creations. The whole feel of the games just isn't the feel that Call of Duty once had (Call of Duty 4). The multiplayer aspect is certainly nothing new. The EXACT same feel, the EXACT same flow, the EXACT same server quality, the EXACT same unbalancing and the same poorly designed maps. This games multiplayer actually got me asking the question "why is Call of Duty so popular?". The reason I came up with, slap this title on any other game and it will sell just as well. People see those 3 infamous words and immediately want in. Pre-teens nag their parents for these games to fit in with the crows (despite the 18 certificate), Teenagers want the game for an easy game to yell abuse and annoyances down the microphone. Adults buy the game because of its annual tradition and the gaming season. These are the only reasons I feel that keeps the CoD title alive. The one redeeming feature I thought would help this game is the infamous zombies. Loved by many since world at war and by far the greatest part of the Call of Duty series. However, even this falls short. Zombies is about endurance and having fun. So why have treyarch started interpreting stories into this. Sure, It can be fun to search and unlock the story but it is just not necessary. Keep zombies the fast paced endurance game it once was. I can safely say I am glad I didn't pay full retail for this game. Even the £8 i paid for rental is too much of a loss. I could have bought a lovely pair of socks and be more satisfied (and have some change for a snack). Call of Duty, you are kept alive by the bandwagon that your name of created.
